The warm charcoal fire made the whole study warm, and Li Hongzhang, who was surprised, listened to Yang Shixiang's narration and looked at the telegram, and Li Hongzhang, who knew Liu Jun well, immediately knew. Liu Jun, a rabbit cub, definitely has something big to do there.

Li Hongzhang put down the telegram in his hand, looked at Yang Shixiang on the side, and found that Yang Shixiang also had a familiar look and smile.

"Go and ask, what does he want to do?"

Yang Fengchun nodded, and after ten minutes, he picked up a telegram in his hand again and walked in.

Li Hongzhang picked up the telegram and read it twice, and immediately understood what Liu Jun wanted to do.

Liu Jun said above that the Russians secretly gave firearms to the bandits in the Northeast, which had the meaning of disrupting the lives of the people in the Northeast and creating chaos. Therefore, he wants to exterminate the bandits in the Northeast and exclude people from entering Russia to make trouble, so that he will not have a good year.

Li Hongzhang handed the telegram to Yang Shixiang, and after Yang Shixiang read it, he handed the telegram to Li Hongzhang again.

The two countries that Li Hongzhang hated the most were Japan and Russia, and over the years, Russia had come to find fault every once in a while, but it was only because of his own blind tolerance that it did not cause disputes. Now that I see Liu Jun, a rabbit cub who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, he is going to Russia to make trouble, which is an indirect bad breath for himself.

Standing up slightly, Li Hongzhang took the telegram again, and looked at the telegram, Liu Jun would carry out a full-scale encirclement and suppression in six days and infiltrate the troublemakers into Russia.

Walking to the side of the charcoal fire, Li Hongzhang threw the telegram into the charcoal fire, and the flames that were burning suddenly illuminated Li Hongzhang's face ruddy and colorful.

The telegram turned to ashes, Li Hongzhang turned around and came to the table, looked at Yang Shixiang, and picked up a white piece: crisply put it on the chessboard. glanced at Yang Shixiang: "Tomorrow, you go to the Russian Legation and do it according to Liu Jun's wishes." ”

Yang Shixiang nodded, nodding with a smile.

The eastern suburbs of Tianjin are the legations of various countries in Tianjin. The Qing Dynasty government still considered foreigners to be barbarians, and did not allow them to enter Beijing, but only set up in Tianjin.

At the Russian Legation, several Russian soldiers were walking back and forth in the courtyard, maintaining the security of the Legation.

The bearded Russian minister was standing in front of the window at this time, and the cigar in his hand was already half lit, but the Russian minister had no intention of taking a puff.

He was anxious in his heart, and this anxiety came from Liu Jun.

As early as the Qing Dynasty and Japan were still at war and Pyongyang was recovered, the Russian minister knew that the situation in Northeast China would inevitably change. Moreover, this change will be caused by one person, and this person is Liu Jun, who mentioned in his telegram to Moscow at that time that if there is a change in the Far East, it will be caused by Liu Jun.

Now everything is the same as originally after the end of the war with Japan, Liu Jun soon launched an attack on the northeast, not only taking Shengjing, but also making Heilongjiang submit to Liu Jun, and the imperial court handed over Jilin to Liu Jun to manage.

All this made the Russian minister very worried.

The court married Gege, and he also received an order from Moscow to go to Liu Jun's wedding. The military parade after the wedding still makes me think about it a little terrible, the shocking pace, the majestic and mighty Junrong, is no worse than the Russian army, and even stronger than Russia in some places.

When he returned, after careful consideration, the worries in his heart became even more melancholy.

The country has always wanted to enter the northeast and occupy the south of Heilongjiang. It is only because of the obstacles of the countries in the international situation, as well as Britain and France, that Moscow has not taken any action for a long time.

Now. Liu Jun occupies the northeast, and that powerful army will become a stumbling block for Russia to seek Heilongjiang in the future.

After careful consideration, he sent a secret telegram to Moscow, in which he told Liu Jun's forces and asked Moscow to find a way not to allow him to occupy a foothold in the northeast, especially in Heilongjiang. The Moscow tsar told the think tank to ask the governor of the Far East to give some ordnance to the bandits in the Heilongjiang area. In this way, it can disrupt the security of Heilongjiang and make Liu Jun untenable.

All this made the Russian minister quite satisfied, but a few days ago, he got a news that Heilongjiang suddenly carried out a crackdown on bandits, and more than 2,000 people were killed.

With a creak, the door was opened, and the attendant walked in and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Lord Yang, the Governor of Tianjin, has come to inform you of something important."

Governor's Palace, the minister frowned, Lord Yang, he thought it must be Yang Shixiang's unintentional, although Yang Shixiang is not the governor, but he is also the right-hand man of the governor Li Hongzhang.

Putting down the cigar in his hand, the Russian minister smiled and walked to the living room.

Yang Shixiang did not have a good impression of the Russians, and after handing Li Hongzhang's announcement to the Russian minister, he roughly explained the situation. Yang Shixiang got up and said goodbye.

Military exercises, closed passages, looking at the notice placed on the table, thinking of Yang Shixiang's words, the Russian minister obviously felt that there was a conspiracy revealed in this, as for what it was, I really can't think of it at present, after all, in Western countries, it is a long thing to conduct military exercises frequently, but in the Qing country, I suddenly heard that the Qing country was going to conduct military exercises, which is really not very adaptable.

Bowing his head slightly, the Russian minister pondered, perhaps he was overly concerned, and thinking of this, the Russian minister left the hall and returned to his room.

Mohe, a city near the Russian border, has frozen the Heilongjiang River in the distance, and a thick layer of ice has been covered with it.

In the past, there was a battalion of the Heilongjiang Army stationed here, so the people here were no strangers to the troops, but now, many people showed a look of surprise.

The small Mohe, the troops that have entered now, are as high as thousands of people, and they are all Zhuang Su they have never seen before, gray coats, white cloaks, and even a few strange things hanging around the waist of each soldier, and under a small wooden handle, there is a small black pimple. As soon as these soldiers entered the Mohe, they closed all the passages that could pass through the Heilongjiang River. And.

Mohe, a low room covered with thick snow, the Heilongjiang Bandit Command, the commander of the Second Corps, Feng Guozhang looked down at the map placed on the ground, turned his head and asked Luo Dacheng beside him.

"The divisions and brigades have been assembled?"

Luo Dacheng nodded: "All divisions and brigades have arrived at the designated position. ”

"Okay, now when the wolves arrive, we can proceed."

Luo Dacheng nodded, and handed Feng Guozhang a kettle from the side: "Zhang Debiao, this kid is very awesome, the troops are directly under the jurisdiction of the marshal, and their military salary is twice that of others."

Feng Guozhang nodded slightly, put down the kettle in his hand and said with a smile: "They have a high salary, but their training is also strong, you know, Duan Qirui's headquarters was once in the acting, and the decision was unknowingly decided by these people." The angry old Duan didn't sleep for a few days. ”

Hahaha. Luo Dacheng laughed after hearing this.

He also knew about this matter, two months ago, in order to test the combat ability of the wolves, Duan Qirui personally led the troops of a division, and in the case of strict defense, Zhang Debiao gave the headquarters not to mention, and even Duan Qirui was captured alive.

"Report, Captain Zhang has arrived." A guard walked in.

As soon as Feng Guozhang heard it, he immediately walked out.

"Lao Zhang, your braids." Feng Guozhang was surprised to see that the braids on the back of Zhang Debiao's head were gone, and the rest was an inch head.

Zhang Debiao smiled slightly: "Cut it." When we left Lushun, we had already cut it off, not only me, but also the handsome Zhong Lin and others. ”

Tsk, envy, Feng Guozhang showed a look of envy, and he also wanted to cut off the braids at the back of his head.

Zhang Debiao saw Feng Guozhang's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Dashuai asked me to take you to talk, if any of you want to cut your braids, he will cut them off, he has no objection." ”

"Okay." Feng Guozhang nodded and took Zhang Debiao into the room inside, after all, now. It is still a matter of discussing the encirclement and suppression and covering their entry into Russia, and as for the rest, it is a secondary issue.
